Always important to remember that the oldest HUMAN fossils discovered in the Americas are about 13,000 years old.

All of the older evidence is alleged artifacts of human presence - foot prints, stone tools, cut marks, etc.

Studies of modern day DNA, based on known mutation rates, estimate the first human presence in the Americas at 15,000 to 18,000 years ago.
